Poor burner ignition will result in failure to ignite and interruption of operation.

The ignition transformer is responsible for generating a high-voltage spark between the ignition electrodes during the burner's ignition phase, igniting the atomized fuel. If the ignition transformer is aging or has insufficient output, it can cause ignition difficulties, frequent lock-up, or even complete failure. The Olympia OM-220 provides stable high-voltage ignition, maintaining reliable burner ignition.

Operating mechanism of high-voltage ignition

The OM-220 employs an electronic booster design, which steps up the primary 230V power supply to a secondary 2×5kV high voltage, generating an electric arc between the ignition electrodes to ignite the fuel. Compared to the traditional iron-core type, the electronic booster design is smaller and lighter, making it suitable for small to medium-sized equipment with limited installation space.

OM-220 design features

Compact design, suitable for use with smaller equipment, and easy to install; dual secondary outputs (2×5kV) correspond to dual-electrode ignition configuration. As the ignition unit for Olympia OM series oil burners, it is replacement compatible and easy to maintain.

Differences from other ignition transformers

This unit uses an Olympia OM series dedicated ignition transformer; for other brands and fuels, please refer to [reference needed].

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the signs of an ignition transformer malfunction? Common symptoms include difficulty in ignition, no or weak sparks during ignition, and frequent burner lock-up.

Can the OM-220 be replaced with other models? It is necessary to confirm that the primary/secondary voltage, current, and frequency are compatible with the installation/ignition configuration. It is recommended to select according to the original manufacturer's specifications.

What does "secondary side 2×5kV" mean? It refers to dual outputs, each 5kV, corresponding to a dual-electrode ignition configuration.
